Guild Wars 2

The gemstore (infinite) harvesting tools used to be per character, and now they’re account bound and can be shared.

How about another QOL improvement? Make it such that if I buy any such tool, it appears on all my characters within the account? i.e. so that we don’t have to transfer it between characters.

Further, perhaps Anet can make it such that it operates like the wardrobe system for those who bought different versions of, say, the logging tool and would like to see different animations for each.

Awesome idea mate! I couldn’t say it better! I see no reason for not implementing this!

I’d like just being able to use whatever skin on whatever tool. My not-watchwork picks need an upgrade.

Please search for the topic you have before making yet ANOTHER thread about this. It has been beaten like a dead horse.

Tell me, what search terms should I use?

Search option is bugged on this forum. Its not his problem developers don’t care about anything we say and same posts gets re-posted all the time.

The more time I spend here, the more I want to leave GW2.

And since we are on the accountwide-topic: same for Salvage-o-Matic and Roylal Terrace Pass pls!!!

Actually not only those. How about the Permanent Bank Access Contract etc? The implementation really doesn’t make sense as usage is based on which character currently holds the ‘contract’ item.

Anyway, back to the topic.

My promise to you A-net: make the harvesting tools account wide (including for new characters) and I will buy a full set (one of each type). If you don’t increase the price further, I will buy it at full price (i.e. won’t wait for discounts).

they could add it easily to the archievement skin window so every character can take it endless

would be nice for harvesting tools, all permanent contracts, salvage tool, this lion arch teleport scroll

The one problem with this is money. Buying one permanent tool for each character gives more money to Anet. Having all characters only needing one of each between them is a considerable loss of profit. I too would love to have every toon share permanent gathering tools but it’s just not a logical move for the company to make.

Unless you have actual evidence that the developers don’t care about anything we say (and I’m pretty sure you dont’) I’d stop saying it. It doesn’t help your argument and it makes me more sympathetic to developers every time someone says it.

There are 300 plus people working at Anet. Have you talked to all of them?

Basically this. While I’d love to be able to get a refund for my multiple tools, ANet got $150 (for 5 sets of the three tools) out of me as opposed to just $30, so why would they change what’s working?

But Zaxares, such tools used to be soul bound and when they became account bound, all players who had multiples could get refunds (albeit gem refund). There were threads covering the refund policy but as I recall, players could get them through Customer Service.

(Found it! https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Infinite-Gathering-Tools-Some-Info-for-you)

It may sound counter-intuitive but I believe there may be many players like me who have resisted buying any infinite tools because of them not being account wide. I have no trouble resisting the urge to buy but I would if they made the changes requested.

I’m not making any demand here; Just a friendly suggestion on how they could get my money. Next move is theirs.

I didn’t get refunds myself then, because having gathering tools on my mains (I have several) was better for me than going back to the bank all the time which I find annoying. Yes, it was worth the money to me.

If they implement that, I’m seriously out money unless they give me some sort of refund policy now. It’s sure going to feel crappy having multiple axes and not using any.

I didn’t return them because I had a use for them. If they made this change I hope they’d refund the ones I kept.

Vayne did what I did. After they became account bound, I kept my 5 different sets simply because I didn’t want the hassle of changing them out on my characters each time.

Apparently lazy is my middle name. I wonder how many other people are on our boat, Zaxares.

I’d say my boat is sailing next to yours. I buy these things for my various characters to match their styles so I have quite a few of the same sort. I’m not too fussed about changing them at the bank because I wouldn’t do it anyway. All my soulbound ones are still soulbound.

The thing is, how many people buy 1 for each char?
over how many people WOULD buy it, if it was on all chars?

I have 2 Frost Wasps, I vow to never do that again. I have too many characters, and it’s far far too annoyed.
I’d be willing to pay 1500gems per unlimeted tool, or 500 gems to upgrade old tools into the achievement or something.

I’d also be ok if anet made it cheaper.
ie, bought one 1000gems, next one is 900gems (of the same type only), next 800gems and so on, until free…(I’d probably never reach the free option, but this is ok, still expensive, but ok.)
It would also play on what you’re saying, 1 perm tool per character, It would encourage that.

Personally I’d prefer acc.wide.

I certainly don’t have anything against your way of thinking but I see things differently. I have two axes, two pickaxes and one sickle. I don’t plan on buying anymore unless they come out with an extremely cool skin that fits the character concept of one of my mains or does something extra like the watchwork pickaxe. Now, if they cost 300 gems a piece, I’d probably have a full set for every toon I have.

Jolly good idea old chap!
